Jackson B. Hurst-Sanders
Jackson is an attorney in the firm’s Business Litigation practice. Simply put, Jackson is a lawyer who represents business in lawsuits. His clients include insurance providers, financial institutions, real estate developers, product sellers, healthcare organizations, and utility providers. This wide-reaching practice has allowed Jackson to work on lawsuits involving contract law, eminent domain practices, creditors' rights, cannabis law, personal injury, and employment disputes.
With each case Jackson takes on, he has one goal in mind: to reach an efficient solution that leaves his clients happy and their interests protected. During his time with Stites, Jackson has negotiated favorable settlements for his clients, saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars. He has also seen numerous successes at the early stages of litigation, with cases against his clients being severely limited in their scope or thrown out entirely.
And Jackson prides himself on staying up to date on how the law develops so that his clients are never left in the dark. For example, in light of Kentucky's legalization of medical cannabis, Jackson hit the books to better understand how this could impact current and future businesses across the Commonwealth. This endeavor enabled him to become one of the forerunners on cannabis legal practice in Kentucky, speaking to healthcare conglomerates on the impact cannabis could have on their practice.
